About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Spar’s shelves were bare and only the night manager remained, a regular whispered, ‘I saw something strange today.’ ‘Really?’ asked the manager, rubbing his eyes. ‘What did you see exactly? A ghostly shopping cart maybe?’ The regular laughed nervously, pointing towards the dairy aisle. ‘Just an old man pushing a trolley, filling it with milk… but he wasn’t real!’ They both looked puzzled until they heard soft footsteps fading away. Turns out, it was just the night janitor, doing his rounds—again.

2. In the early hours of morning, when Spar’s aisles were deserted except for one lone shopper, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Who’s been stealing all the marshmallows?’ As he looked around, nobody was in sight. Then, from behind an aisle, came a quiet voice: 'I thought it was you!' Turning back, they saw only a small child with big eyes and an empty cart. The delivery driver shook their head, smiling. 'Guess who our new night-time stocker is?'

3. Late at night, when Spar’s checkout counters had closed, an anonymous delivery driver started leaving mysterious packages in the empty produce section. One day a delivery driver left behind a package wrapped in brown paper. The next morning, everyone found it was filled with freshly baked bread from the local bakery—an unexpected treat for all employees. It turned out that a kind neighbor wanted to brighten their spirits after hours of hard work.

4. Late at night, when Spar’s checkout counters had closed, a mysterious figure began appearing in the dairy section. The voice over the intercom announced: ‘Please return all unclaimed milk cartons to their rightful place.’ One night, a delivery driver noticed the figure and decided to join the cleanup. Soon, the entire store was buzzing with whispers—was it an ghostly shopper or just an enthusiastic volunteer? In the end, it turned out to be a neighborhood kid who loved helping out after his mom did the grocery shopping. Everyone laughed, and Spar became known for its late-night community clean-up parties.
